Solar panels supposed to be installed on the roof of a government primary school in Shimlapuri in ward number 40 has been missing. Amandeep Saini, a local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, has filed a complaint with mayor Inderjit Kaur, seeking investigation.
The school authorities claimed that they had stored the panels in the old building. Saini claimed that he made a video recording of each and every room of the old building, but found nothing.
Saini said he contacted several stakeholders, but everyone passed the buck.
The complainant has urged the municipal corporation to fix responsibility and initiate legal action if any irregularity or misuse of government property is established. He has also sought a written report on the action taken. In his complaint, Aman Saini, BJP leader from ward number 39, alleged that the building of the Government Primary School, Shimlapuri, spread over around 500 square yards, was declared unsafe and demolished for reconstruction. Saini further alleged that after he received information that the solar panels were missing, he contacted head master Varinder Kumar, who reportedly identified a site on street number 8, near Gurdwara Dukhbhanjan, where students had been shifted after the demolition.
During the process, solar panels installed on its rooftop were removed but, according to the complaint, were not deposited in any government store or designated storage facility. Kumar claimed the solar panels had been kept there, according to Saini. Mayor Inderjit Kaur, while talking to media, said she would ensure a time-bound inquiry in the matter.
